Not a Chance

Do you think the hostage-taking mad mullahs will ever give up their aim of eradicating the Jewish State? Do you believe that the ayatollahs will ever adopt Jeffersonian democracy? Do you actually buy the Islamic Republic's pitch that their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes? Iran is a threat to America and the world and an absolute menace to the region. Treaties entered into with lying fanatics are not worth the paper they are printed on, and this is doubly the case with the End Time despots who have enslaved the Iranian people! 

Run From Iran

What Iran is: 1.)End Time Shiite fanatics stirring the world to chaos so that their prophet emerges from the well. 2.)Bent on hegemony in the Middle East where they have already subverted Lebanon (Hezbollah) and Yemen (the Houthis), intruded in Iraq (Hezbollah in Iraq and the Sadrists), and propped up their bloody-handed ally Assad in Syria. 3.)The largest exporter of terror around the globe, blowing up Jews in two separate events in Argentina, attacking Jews in Bulgaria, constantly agitating for more terror in the Holy Land. What Iran is not:1.)A reliable negotiating partner. 2.)A nation that can be counted on to keep any agreements 3.)A stabilizing force for the region or the world. Given the aforementioned facts, why would any nation, particularly the United States, seek or accept a new treaty with Iran? 

Serfs and Slaves

Some among the so-called "elite" say that "you will own nothing and be happy by 2030". If they believe this, they should give away all their possessions now, including money, homes, and vehicles right away, and see how happy it makes them. They will not do this ever, as they are only posturing as they attempt to make us all serve them (or die). 

Bread Not Circus

I used to like the college football season; indeed, the televised games were one of the better parts of the year. They were our modern day gladiators doing combat for our amusement and distraction. People who are hungry enough and even those realizing that they are on the verge of food insecurity can't afford to waste their time worrying about whether the team from social justice university is going to beat the college of anthem kneelers. Real life has intruded on the games, and that really gets in the way. I have never seen my country so riven and imperiled as now with the only goal of Americans being survival. 

Lawless Law Enforcement

When the Federal Bureau of Investigation raids the home of a former President from a political party no longer in power, one must question the predicate. Was the motivation to disqualify Trump from future runs for office? When Federal Marshals raid an Amish farmer, one has to ask why? Did he have a crop of Fentanyl coming up in his fields? (Obviously not- are his food crops more deadly than the unchecked flow of narcotics across the Southern border of the United States that the Biden regime permits to go on virtually unabated?) "Hey planter- those are some dangerous ears of corn you have there!" The conduct of Federal law enforcement has become ripe for parody and reeks with political bias. 

Raid the President?

Countries where dissidents or the political opposition are criminally prosecuted are by definition NOT FREE. Nations where one set of laws applies to the ruling party, while another is enforced against their opponents are tyrannies. When you have double standards and different sets of rules based on political affiliation, you are inviting civil war or revolution. The raid of President Trump is part of an attack meant to disqualify him from seeking the Presidency ever again, and is totally un-American. 

To Your Health

Young people, athletes in peak physical condition, are having cardiac events and even dying in unprecedented numbers. This phenomenon has never been seen afflicting in such a way as it is with today's gladiators in any significant manner, but suddenly something has changed. I wonder what that could be. 

Must . . . Restrain . . . Israel

The Biden regime is determined to appease Iran at all costs. America is doing nothing to enhance stability or to protect the traditional allies of the United States in the Middle East. Those negotiating on behalf of the United States are in fact assuring the Islamic Republic that the Jewish State will not take (be permitted to launch and blocked by the US) any preemptive action against the mad mullahs once Tehran signs the new nuclear treaty. Of course, Lapid is not party to this deal and will not be signing anything, but Israel has heretofore been bound to American policy in almost every instance. Why would Washington restrain Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, and Israel from dealing with what truly is an existential threat while giving in to the world's leading sponsor of terror that operates on a "Death to the Great Satan" (America) ethos and of course have promised the obliteration of the "Little Satan" (Israel) as well?

Decadence and Depravity

I sincerely doubt they tried to transition children sexually in Sodom and Gomorrah. I guarantee you no heroin or Fentanyl was being used in either of those towns that the Lord wiped from the face of the earth. We are sinning now in ways the most dissipated could not have imagined a mere century ago, and there is bound to be a reckoning. 

What of Islamophobia?

There are indeed some folks that hate Muslims. More often though, I think there is an element of fear towards Muslims and not without some justification. Do you recall many Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, or Jews lopping the heads off of someone who has been perceived to have offended their faiths? September 11, 2001 was not perpetrated by a bunch of Jesuits. Over ninety percent of Muslims would never murder anyone for their faith, but in a religion so large, a few million fanatics can do immense damage. 

The Worst Discrimination

I see folks all the time saying various groups face the most prejudice. On conservative sites, it is usually "whites, men, and Christians". On the leftist pages, it is blacks, trans folks, and Muslims that are subjected to bigotry. In reality, just about every group has someone that is against it. No bunch has suffered and is suffering as much though as the Jews, and nobody outside of some Jews themselves and Christian Zionists seem to care. 

Just Two Wrongs

For generations, blacks in America, who had just been freed from slavery by the Civil War, suffered under the unjust system of segregation. The injustice was corrected by law that went into force a couple of generations back. Now I read white people are being banned from certain common areas around Cal-Berkeley housing. This action can't possibly pass Constitutional muster. Beyond that, as my grandmother always taught me, two wrongs do not make a right. These new injustices and insane proposals like reparations are only meant by malevolent forces to have us at each other's throats. To force people who never owned slaves to pay people that never were slaves might just spark a new civil war in the United States. 

Already Trying Extortion

Iran has not yet rejoined the nuclear deal but is already warning of "consequences" if the world does not meet Iranian demands. How much worse will the situation be should America give in to the blackmail of the Islamic Republic? If the mad mullahs are appeased now, Israel will soon be fighting them for their very existence. 

Run the Numbers

Is it going to take eighty-seven thousand new Internal Revenue Service agents to crack down on America's tax cheat billionaires? We must have more billionaires than I thought, or is the government planning on printing so many devalued US Dollars that we are all billionaires, just like the bad old days in Zimbabwe? 

Racketeers and Rapists

The luminaries of the DemocRAT Party include the money-grubbing Bidens, the venal Clintons, The Kennedy (Skakel) boys who like "waitress sandwiches" and who you might not trust with a golf club, particularly if you are a teenage girl. I know there are Republicans who commit crimes too, but they do not become President. 

Some Took All

The Biden and Clinton families have long records of so-called "public service". In the instance of each clan, that has come to be defined as raking in huge amounts of money through influence-peddling; yet, I have never seen the FBI raid either of these servants of the people. Donald Trump came into office rich and lost money while in government, and he is the one who was raided. It looks like DemocRATS can do no wrong, at least in the eyes of the folks responsible for investigating wrongdoing. 

Always Remain Silent

Seeing how politicized Federal law enforcement has become, how biased it is against Trump supporters, and how it covers for corrupt acts by DemocRATS, I would assert my Fifth Amendment rights and not speak to them if I was on the Right of the political spectrum today in America. If you are known for backing Trump, the FBI and some prosecutors are not going to give you a fair shake. 

Even Remaining Silent

Even if you do not criticize Islam, there are jihadists who want to murder you. Jerusalem just sustained a mass shooting of folks who likely never said anything negative against Muslims. Several of those wounded are Americans. The jihadist who gunned them down would gladly attack anyone he regards as an "infidel" without regard to their beliefs and in this instance, gravely wounded a pregnant woman. I guess the shooter would have gone after Salman Rushdie had he the chance, but you do not have to oppose Islam to have fanatics target you. 

Chance of Lifetime

If you speak of Islam, and every part of your speech is not complimentary, you are possibly forfeiting your life. You can curse Christians all you want, call for the death of Jews, criticize Hindus and Buddhists with no consequence, but criticize "the religion of peace" in the slightest and you have to look over your shoulder the rest of your life. 

Make a Deal?

The theocratic regime in Iran that enslaves its own populace and threatens the world appears to be close to cementing a deal with America over its nuclear program. Why would the United States seek or enter into any agreement with fanatics who solicit murder on American soil? The mad mullahs sent assassins after Mike Pompeo and John Bolton and quite probably after President Trump as well. They have certainly encouraged, if not directed this morning's attempt on the life of Salman Rushdie in New York state. Iran was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American troops in Iraq. The Iranian government does not abide by international norms nor keep its word, so why regard the mad mullah end time state as anything but an enemy? 

Rules for Me

Hunter Biden has joined his crime clan on South Carolina's tony Kiawah Island. It is not known if he has brought crack with him or if he will have it delivered. Do his Red Chinese handlers include some narcotics for Hunter with his payoffs in cash and jewelry or is he responsible for finding his own drugs? Maybe Hunter has his escorts supply the party favors. 

Rules for Thee!

Going back to the election of JFK, where criminal acts provided the winning margin (notably in West Virginia and Illinois), DemocRATS have not been held to account for breaking the law. Teddy Kennedy got by with killing a pregnant girl (Mary Jo Kopechne) in 1969. The Clinton administration was rife with illegality. Obama was trafficking guns to Mexican narco gangs to cause such a bloodbath there that Americans would renounce the Second Amendment here. The current ruling cabal stole an election and is persecuting political foes while Hunter Biden served as bag man for his venal father. Donald Trump has committed no discernible offense, yet faces whole cloth smears time after time because he wants to save the country. Honorable men like Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, and Ted Stevens (the late Alaska GOP Senator) face concocted charges from the party that really is committing crime on a continual basis.  

The Fishing Expedition

President Trump is the most persecuted American ever. If prosecutors at any level had any proof of crimes committed by Donald, he would be in prison by now. Trump faced multiple impeachments based on no facts. Yesterday's raid against Trump's property was to find a crime because if there had been any real dirt on Donald, he would have been locked up long ago. Trump must be one of the cleanest people ever because he has faced unprecedented scrutiny including a Special Counsel with millions of dollars for investigations, but those inquisitors have found no crime Donald has ever perpetrated. 

Other Terrorist Groups

Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is no doubt comprised of murderous fanatics. Unfortunately for the cause of peace, Hamas members are just as bloodthirsty. I would not say the Palestinian Authority is chock full of Schweitzers either. All these organizations want to kill Jews until they are driven from the Middle East (completely off the planet would be ideal for most of these so-called "militants"). I do not understand why Israel's leadership thinks it is acceptable to leave two other genocidal organizations unmolested, when the intention of all three was to slaughter Israelis. 

No Separate Peace

Israel finds itself in a shooting conflict with Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), which hides behind the civilians in the Gaza Strip. IDF spokespeople are quick to say that this current exchange of fire is NOT targeting Hamas or the Palestinian Authority but specific PIJ members leading and plotting attacks on Jews. This statement is true so far as it goes, but it does not address the fact that Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are also mortal enemies determined to extinguish the Jewish State. PIJ may or may not coordinate with the other terrorist groups, but their aims are identical, even if their tactics vary. Why let certain terror organizations bent on the genocide of Jews off the hook? Why not eliminate the presence of jihadists representing any group plotting the murder of Israelis? 

You Never Know

When I was a child, we had a condo on the west coast of Florida. There were roofers working on a building there when a sudden storm emerged from the Gulf. Three of the men working lost their lives in the subsequent lightning. I have taken thunderstorms plenty serious since then. 

When Lightning Strikes

What are the odds that when you finally get to see the White House in person, you get hit by a thunderbolt? For four poor folks visiting the District of Columbia it happened, and tragically, an elderly couple in town from Wisconsin has already succumbed to their injuries. Sometimes, it might be better just to stay home, but I have heard you can get struck by lightning there too. 

The Sensible Substitute

Nuclear energy, at least the way it is produced in the United States, could replace the other ways of creating power we rely on here, but American minds have been poisoned against it by a decades old movie, The China Syndrome (1979). Nuclear power plants in America have a tremendous record of safety, with layers of redundancy unmatched elsewhere. We did have the so-called "Three Mile Island disaster" in the USA but that resulted in no deaths. The Soviet Union had the Chernobyl tragedy that did claim lives, but the Russian built reactor was relatively primitive with few of the safety backups found in other areas of the world. If we built more atomic power stations here, it would reduce reliance on carbon-based fuels and even mitigate the need to switch to solar or wind generation. 

No Current Replacement

An economy that would run efficiently on solar panels and windmills would be terrific, but it is just a fantasy at this point. We have enormous demand for petroleum that will not diminish. Cutting off domestic oil production amounts to economic suicide, because the developed world still needs gasoline and diesel to function. Would you not rather it be produced here and mostly safely and efficiently carried through pipelines, rather than shipped across oceans on supertankers that can and have caused monumental environmental disasters? 

Pelosi Tempts Fate

Is Nancy Pelosi trying to start World War III? What could she hope to accomplish with the Taiwan visit? Does she somehow think her trip will enhance stability? Once a high US official commits to an act, no matter how provocative, America must go through with it or lose all credibility, but what if that action is completely unnecessary and ultimately starts a chain of events leading to the end of humanity? Pelosi has subjected the United States to great risk with no possible reward. 

A Vassal State

Is the United States a vassal state to Red China? Do we bow down to Communists? At this point, do we grab Nancy Pelosi's leash and demand she not go to Taiwan? If we do and Pelosi skips her visit, the Reds have won.
